Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Salmonella enterocolitis is a common gastrointestinal infection.
  • Accurate diagnostic methods are crucial for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of ultrasound in patients with salmonella enterocolitis.
  • To correlate ultrasound findings with clinical presentation and disease severity.

Main Methods:

  • Ultrasound examinations were performed on 27 patients diagnosed with salmonella enterocolitis.
  • Diagnostic confirmation included stool cultures and serological testing.
  • Sonographic findings were systematically recorded and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • 81% of patients exhibited concentric thickening of the left-sided gut wall (5-11 mm, mean 7 mm).
  • Additional findings included: less demarcated gut wall layers (33%), hypoechoic gut wall (48%), and polypoid mucosal thickening (33%).
  • Mesenteric lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and ascites were observed in some cases.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasound is a valuable tool for diagnosing salmonella enterocolitis.
  • Observed sonographic changes correlate with clinical illness intensity.
  • Imaging findings can support clinical assessment in managing salmonella enterocolitis.
